shaynabelike 's review for:
Wool Omnibus
by Hugh Howey
I picked Wool Omnibus up after cleaning up from Thanksgiving dinner, and basically read it straight through Saturday morning with only small breaks for food, sleep, the restroom, and obligatory grunts at my friends and family. Seriously. I stuck my Kindle in purse when we went out to eat on the off chance I could sneak in a little reading.
There's no good answer to "what this book about?" It's about hubris and humility, love and hate, optimism and pessimism, and politics and leadership. It plumbs the sublime and terrible aspects of human nature. It's a post-apocalyptic tale rooted firmly in the present. It's sci-fi with a heavy emphasis on the science and a terrifyingly believable dose of the fiction side of things.
A colleague called it a mix of the Walking Dead, House of Cards, and Star Trek, and that seems about as close I'm likely to get trying to describe this book.
So, I can't describe it, but I LOVED it.
